Acrylic, oil, charcoal, pigment and cruel oil from Vaca Muerta (Argentina). Her artwork in recent years has materialized in different series of abstract paintings based in the idea of paths, territory and landscape, identity and culture, in which the gesture and the material used become elements of high symbolic power. The urbanized, normalized and also the uninhabited territory, the paths traveled and implicitly those to be traveled. In their particular context and experience, these concepts are linked to Indo-American culture and the vast lands of her own country. It is from there that she takes the raw material with which she has been working since 2012: crude oil, coming from different oilfields in Argentina, which she uses as a binder for oil and pigments, made by herself. The substance of each of these paths and territories - whether through this or other materials, from the monochrome or from the color, from the constructive or the gestural - is not only crystallized in a poetics of the place but also a lifetime journey which transcends the geographic and political stipulated limits, to focus on the existential experience - at the same time, individual and collective, ancestral and contemporary - of each one of them.
